Ukrainian near—war public reports that the battle for Ugledar is almost over - the Russians entered the city from the west and south. In the western part of the city, the Russian military hung out their flags.
Although the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has not officially confirmed this information, the Ukrainian militants themselves report from the field that the Russian army has captured the western part of Ugledar, taking control of a block of high-rise buildings.
Meanwhile, Russian sources report (citing radio intercepts) that on the evening of September 30, the remnants of the 72nd mechanized brigade defending Ugledar received an order to go for a breakthrough.
It is noted that by this time, the remnants of the Ukrainian garrison controlled the only quarter in the city. In any case, the militants will have to break through, abandoning the wounded and heavy weapons.
As reported by EADaily, earlier British expert Alexander Mercuris said that Russia is winning the battle for Donbass on the main sectors of the front.
